About Alstervergnugen

Held on the city’s expansive inner lake, Alstervergnügen is one of Hamburg’s biggest inner city parties with live music, fireworks and over 500 performers lighting up the area. The four-day festival sees the city centre come alive with a huge fairground, various stages and plenty of food and drink stalls to fuel the festivities. The stages are spread out around the lake and feature rock, pop and classic tunes - a mixture that should suit just about everybody. The fun isn’t only on the shore either - there’s plenty going on in the water itself, including wakeboarding, dragon boat racing and Stand up Paddling.
